Question

What is the largest suspected environmental problem associated with the burning of fossil fuels? A) global warming B) depletion of ozone C) production of acid rain D) pollution of water sources

Answer 1

The correct answer is option A

The burning of fossil fuel releases carbon dioxide in the environment. Carbon dioxide is the main green house gas. The green house gases work by trapping the heat that comes inside the earth from the sun.

The carbon dioxide is the green house gas that traps maximum heat coming from the sun. If the carbon dioxide would not have been there then the temperature of the earth would have been very low and the atmosphere would have been colder.

But the global temperature is rising due to lost of carbon dioxide present in the environment as the burning of fossil fuels is increasing day by day.
